Hearts and voices heav'n-ward raise: 2 Now the iron bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born, Glorious life, and life immortal, On this holy Easter morn: Christ has triumphed, and we conquer By His mighty enterprise, We with Him to life eternal By His resurrection rise. 3 Christ is risen, Christ, the first-fruits Of the holy harvest-field, Which with all its full abundance At His second coming yield: Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave. 4 Christ is risen, we are risen! Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory From the brightness of Thy face: That, with hearts in heaven dwelling, We on earth may fruitful be, And by angel-hands be gathered, And be ever, Lord, with Thee. 5 Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia to the Saviour Who has won the victory; Alleluia to the Spirit, Fount of love and sanctity; Alleluia! Alleluia! To the Triune Majesty.
